Ameteur boxing is definetly alive , Here in Australia , a little city called Adelaide , which has very few boxing clubs , is hosting a club championships , apparantly its been a regular thing for about 3-4 years , basicly each club puts in has many boxers has it can from 12 yea rold novices 38 kilo right through to open class heavywights , not sure of the format but think its something like 3 points for a win , 2 for a loss , something like that ,, anyway tallyup at the end club with most points wins works well because no club has huge numbers too stack the comp .mickey1975 wrote: ↑18 May 2023, 10:03 There will be thousands in training every day. Hundreds boxing. Do you not follow amateur boxing at all? The Haringey Cup, live on DAZN, should give you a small insight into how alive the sport is.
Anyway seems to have proved so popular that teams/ clubs from all over Australia have been going there and participating , but this year they even had clubs from , New caladonia ,, New Zealand , couple clubs from INDIA , and guess what , even the One Nation club from England have gone there this year with a big team . Ameteur boxing seems to be doing well ,, Even my 13 year old grandaughter , has been going boxing for the last 3-4 months , , whats more she's doing well , packs a deadly right hand , now whenever she comes around , i've got to get the pads out and give her some rnds
Although i do tell her i don't think she should box , if you want to fight i say wait till you get married , i'm old fashioned just don't like women fighting or boxing ,, but she says papa your just an old fuddy duddy , then belts me
